Jose Maria Gimenez family story

Jose María Giménez was 17 when his sister became pregnant at 14. He had no professional contract and earned no salary at the time. His father owned a motorcycle and worked in a warehouse, while his mother was a homemaker. There were not many incomes in the family. Giménez burst into tears and stood in front of his parents. He told them he would take care of the child who was going to be born. He called his representatives to tell them about the situation. Giménez told his representatives he was going to quit football to find a job with income to help the child. His representatives sat down with him and told him they were going to start helping him. They told him not to quit football because it was his passion. That same year, Giménez signed for Atlético de Madrid. Spaniards sometimes tell Giménez "What bad luck you have" when he gets injured or makes a mistake. Giménez tells Spaniards: "If you knew the good luck I have..." when they comment on his luck. #AtleticoMadrid #Football
